Midge’s do not bite, they urinate on us & it a reaction that gives us the itch. As 75 + year old Vaners who have been travelling for over 45 years we have found different things work for different people. We found that an oily skin preparation, to block their pee getting to our skin, we liked baby oil, or “skin so soft” worked for us. We used dettol to wash the bites which cleaned the skin and disinfected the area. Good luck 10:3710:37
I know what you should have done, freaking tyre pressures, down to 12PSI on the car and say 18 on the van and would have popped out so easy. Saved damaging your max tracks and the track.
Yeah we love it when tourists chop up our tracks towing their caravans into places where caravans shouldn't be....but yeah you know...as long as you get your TH-cam views!
I love you guys, but seriously Jake, let your tyres down from the get go when you're in the soft stuff! Like, you do this (get bogged) regularly. I know it's a PITA but think how much time it would save you. Anyway, rant over. Keep up the good stuff!
Hi Lil and Jake , I usually put a piece of aluminium Ali foil under the Trivette, which deflects the heat , I use my Webber for everything baking bread, etc etc. I’m a baker by trade, always enjoy the videos Cliff from Queensland Australia a new viewer
Hey guys. I ended up putting little bungees like on an old school Ute tonneau cover on my fold out table. It means you can flip it up and not have to worry about the key all the time. It’s worked for me for about 10 years now 😊 And now I’m forever traumatised over that toe injury 🥹
Oh that’s a great idea!! Don’t want to have to drill any hole in the side of the van though. 😅 I know!!!!! I will be too. Thankfully it’s almost healed properly now! 🙌🏼🤍
It’s great you include your little dog in your videos reminds me of our two little ones that we don’t have anymore. We really miss our two and really look forward to seeing her in your vids she seems such a nice little dog. No matter what happens please keep her in them. Thank you both. Cheers !
You know the mistake you made. Your car worked too hard, your mate did all the work and that track was dug up. Tyre pressures every time. I'll keep watching and hope you do it right next time.
What I found best for mig bite is telfast and keri aloe cream from chemist warehouse And alot of going to pool beach, soaking your bites, it seems to work
Oh that’s a great tip! Thank you! 🤍 For a few days there I was definitely taking some antihistamines and they worked a treat but I’ve actually found some stuff I really love and it’s all natural. 🙌🏼
Another tip for your windows. While you are in the Darwin area got AUTOSMART NT in Darwin and purchase an aerosol called STARDUST. it will polish the windows leaving a coating , crystal clear and take out the scratches.
Midge bites, Seriously here , mix equal parts of Baby oil and Dettol together in a spray bottle guys, Spray over exposed skin. The Dettol soothes any bites and baby oil helps the coverage, believe it or not it works a treat and is our goto up here in the NT especially when camping in midgee areas or fishing in a boat in mangroves. Try it you wont be dissapointed guys.
Thanks for sharing one epic episode Lily and Jake really enjoyed it. Beautiful remote beach unfortunately it has Crocodiles in it . I feel so sorry for that beautiful Turtle getting attacked by the Crocodile what a big mean ,e lol needs to pick on someone it’s own size. Always looking forward to seeing you both on the next episode 😊😅❤
I would move back of the cliff?? It was only used as a reference. Keep the videos coming, subscribed to you tube to cut the ads out and watch uninterrupted.✔️✔️✔️
First, bead lock rims are illegal on the road. So have a look at Tyler Thompson dad build. Put inner bead locks in. You now can basically lower your tyres to nearly zero. If you see Ronny Dahli's video, he changed tyre pressures. From max to bare min when bogged, and he found out that it stopped him wasting time.
I've been thinking of getting Beadlocks for my rims, now l'm not so sure, as l never knew that they are illegal, when driving on public roads. Begs the question as to why?
To stop the itching press a fingernail into the middle of a bite until it starts to hurt. Get some anti itching cream from the chemist, if you ask they will know what you need. Up there you really need one of those screen tents or just stay in the van. I hope ALL openings have fly wire on them, even fridge vents. If they get in at night you are stuffed. You probably know all this already but just in case ya don't...
Yeah, I ended up finding some cream that I absolutely love! But I remember doing that as a kid. 😂 Sometimes you’re right though, better to just go inside. 😅
I thought the free camping at Dundee was closed were you supposed to be there I would of thought by now you would’ve had better microphones with wind socks?
No idea? We didn’t have any trouble at all camping out there! 🙌🏼 As for microphones, we usually just use our phones unless we’re filming for something in particular. That way we find it’s more authenticity us, in the moment. Sometimes scrambling to put on specific microphones takes up so much time. Our videos aren’t perfect but we are so happy keeping it simple! 🤍
Sorry guys, can't watch you anymore...Unsubscribing! I prefer responsible 4wding and camping...I used to enjoy your videos but I can't understand how you think ripping up tracks and vegetation like that is ok? Lower tyre pressures!!
Oh my gosh yes!!! Out of all the suggestions I’ve got this was the most popular by far. And I have been absolutely LOVING it the last week since I got some. 🙌🏼

What a rubbish statement…. You own Australia?
To too many people believe in dropping tyre pressure past what they have been told to do. So many trackers chopped up does my f?!kn head in.

There too scared because other people told them only need to go down to 18psi

Chop it up then lower tyre pressure. Cook one cookie. Oh our Pandanus worked a treat on your windows
It’s great you include your little dog in your videos reminds me of our two little ones that we don’t have anymore. We really miss our two and really look forward to seeing her in your vids she seems such a nice little dog. No matter what happens please keep her in them. Thank you both. Cheers !
I’m sorry but I laughed at Jake’s toe😂. I stubbed mine this morning too
Hahahhahaha, I don’t know what it is about him getting hurt but I never can’t laugh 😂 Hope yours isn’t as bad at his! 🤍
about time you got that new rig bogged. good to see the bogged hat out for some action!
You know the mistake you made. Your car worked too hard, your mate did all the work and that track was dug up. Tyre pressures every time. I'll keep watching and hope you do it right next time.
"The Locals Sandfly and Mozzie Stuff " is the best. I suffer from insect bites and find this is the best.
Dettol, baby oil and metho for the midgees. Also superglue for Jake’s toe number 1 thing to keep in your first aid kit.
That’s true!!! Would be super useful I imagine. Thanks for the midgee tip too. 🤍

Equal parts Dettol Baby Oil and Eucalyptus Oil for midgee bites.

Looking forward to the Kimberley vids when they come out (we left Hidden Valley CP when you arrived - the other Titanium 😄)
Did you get your bullbar re Powdercoated before you installed it?
I take it they are not well covered from factory 😮
Awesome as always guys 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Ok its too late now 4 u guys but can they put protective film on the windows of the van to stop scratching
Yeah, you’re 100% right! Hindsight hey. Next van. 😅
The film will not scratch???

How hard is it to film while trying to get out of a bog lol. Been there done that looks nice and warm up there cheers Graham and Jo
OMG is that a new fashion wearing socks 🧦 with crocs you dagg I see the bog master is at it again cheers legends 😄
At 5.25 , why couldn't you camp there??
Looked abandoned right at the cliffs edge, that looked beautiful enough??
Last place I’d want to be if the cliff goes and you wake up in Croc infested waters 😅
I would move back of the cliff??

But yeah….. put your tyre pressures down… it’s not hard
How to do a 2000 point turn. 😊😂
Hahahahahah, he’s a master of cutting it very fine with those turns. 🫣
Jake you are one patient man. 🤦♂️
What brand is your portable table
It’s a Stratus table! It’s called the Derek! Really love it actually. 💙
Dettol and baby oil helps with flies and mozzies too put in a spray bottle about 50/50 and doesn't smell that bad either great vid to guys
Hmmmm! So interesting! I actually found some really amazing stuff and it’s all natural which I love. 🧡
@@lilandjake chaotic cooking with Lil love it
😂😂😂
@@GregBrady-su1zw I agree the guys on Thursday Island told me that one many years ago
Please tell me you've got bush wrapz on your windows !
why not use your winch

Look like fake beadlocks…

Another funny video guys lol
Really, you have a winch and another vehicle why bother with max tracks.
Ouch nasty toe injury that would hurt, then go numb, then hurt some more when fixing it poor bugga mate I feel your pain!
There is honestly nothing worse!!! So painful. And the alcohol wipe. 😩
I don't know how to spell but Hemerroyed cream works because it is a anti histermean
Awesome 💯🇦🇺
Thank you! Cheers! 🔥
hey jake you heard of the invention it's called shoes
That is a fair old toe stubbing, make sure Hazel doesn't get the taste of fresh meat 😂
No idea
Where did you get your teeth done
Not allowed in that area you just ignore the signs, camping has been stopped because people like you stuffing up good locations 🤨
first to comment again !!!! Thanks for your video..😁
Yiew!!! You’re an absolute legend!! Thanks so much Magnum Jack! 🤩
I thought the free camping at Dundee was closed were you supposed to be there
I would of thought by now you would’ve had better microphones with wind socks?
It is but I'm glad people are still going in, f**k the closures!!!

Legend NtDanny! Such a beautiful spot and we had no troubles at all. 🤩
We will give it a crack when we get there 👍

Poor Turtle😢
Good riddance repellant and the bite relief cream for the midgees all the way…. Natural and works
Oh my gosh yes!!! Out of all the suggestions I’ve got this was the most popular by far. And I have been absolutely LOVING it the last week since I got some. 🙌🏼
sorry Jake lil just laughs wow ....
Sorry!! I couldn’t help it! He’s so dramatic. 😅
❤👍
🤍🤍🤍
Don't worry about the crocodile only like Americans
No tinnie?
Nah, unfortunately we had to leave it behind! We were too heavy. 😭
Should we call Jake a toe truck
Hahahahahhahah! 😂
Your poor engine and gearbox😢
Poor transmission ……. Boom
Crocs are just stupid hungry things.
I know!!!! And big and scary! 😳
